The synthesis of polyurethanes (PUs) from the reaction of low molecular weight poly(ethylene carbonate) diol (PECD) is rarely investigated. This work reports a novel PU with excellent mechanical properties from the solution polymerization of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) with PECD that was derived from the copolymerization of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ethylene oxide (EO). The tensile strength, the elongation at break and 300% constant tensile strength of the PECD-PU were up to 66 ± 2 MPa, 880% ± 50% and 13 MPa, respectively, higher than the control PUs from the reaction of MDI with commercial polyethers or polyesters. The PECD-PU with high CO₂ carbonate content exhibited good solvent resistance and chemical stability. Of importance, the mechanical properties and chemical resistance of PECD-PU were significantly enhanced with the increasing content of CO₂, i.e., the carbonate unit in PECD. This work provides comprehensive properties of PECD-derived PUs, indicating that PECD is a competitive precursor for the preparation of PU and has broad application prospects.
